Clinics & Services

We are here essentially to care for you when you are unwell or think you might be. So, please feel free to contact us if you think you need our help.

In addition we offer the following services to help specific groups of people:

Chronic Disease Management

Our practice nurses are trained and experienced in review of patients with chronic medical conditions. We recommend you have an appointment with our nurse if you suffer from High Blood Pressure, Coronary heart disease, Stroke, Epilepsy, Diabetes, Asthma, COPD, or Chronic Kidney Disease. This should help to keep you healthier in spite of your existing illness and to prevent further complications, events or worsening of your illness.

Help with stopping smoking

If you wish to have help and guidance about stopping smoking please make an appointment with our nurse who will assist you.

Minor Surgery

We perform minor surgical procedures by prior appointment.

Family Planning Service

We offer family planning services. This includes fitting of implants and emergency contraception.

Chlamydia Screening

We recommend chlamydia screening for everyone in the age range of 16 to 25 years if you are sexually active. It is done by sending a urine sample to hospital laboratory. This is part of a national campaign for detection and treatment of chlamydia infection. Please make an appointment with our practice nurse if you wish to be screened for chlamydia.

Cervical Cytology (Smears)

We recommend all ladies between 25 and 49 years of age to have a smear test every 3 years. Age 49 - 65 are recommended a cervical smear every 5 years. This helps prevention and early detection of cancer of the cervix.

Travel Information

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required. There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

Non NHS Services

A number of medical examinations, reports including HGV/LGV, Taxi and PSV's, insurance forms and certificates are not available on the NHS, but may be provided by the GPs privately for a fee. These may be requested via the receptionist, who will inform you of the relevant charge.
